1) NPC's consistently suffer heart attacks when asked unexpected questions.

2) Every single merchant has the same stock with slightly different prices.

3) The Dm's notes are written on the back of a napkin.

4) The Dm's map is actually just a map of europe with renamed cities and random dungeon entrances.

5) The BBEG's of the past 6 games you have played have been called:
Gareth the lord of terror
Damson the lord of darkness
Kahn the lord of fear
Arthur the lord of evil
Brian the lord of nasty stuff
and Timothy the lord of muffled cries of pain

To be honest, in the first case I think the DM should get new players, and not the other way...

8: ...all of the players know more of the rules than the DM.
9: ...the old one is no longer useful :evillaugh

Ah but did you read the DM tips at the bottom of each comic?

And I quote "This happens all the time. No matter how epic the battle, once begun, the thing sounds more or less like a bingo game: People shout out numbers and other people get excited about them."
